Could you let us know what the depth of the towel rack is?

Is this a shelf, or a shelf and towel bar? If only a shelf, could I put a towel bar underneath it? Would that look funny?

there's a question/answer shown about not recommending that the hotel rack be used in a shower. Can you elaborate? I have bought one to install, and plan to hang on the back of my 40" shower stall.

Great productThis is an awesome towel rack. Super easy to install and the look is beautiful. It holds 3 bath size towels easily probably more if you need. Very sturdy.

Heavy Chrome and matches!This purchase was to complete the bath hardware that included MOEN and SANTEC products. This Kingsley Collection item was such a close match to the SANTEC Chadwick collection that even close examination is tough. They are not exact, but close enough for horseshoes or hand-grenades.
The chroming on these MOEN products is excellent. I wish I had looked at the lighting fixtures at Lighting Direct prior to buying at the big box. The chrome plating on items from Homer and the other guy, just don't stand up to heat and humidity of a bath. I expect to have to replace that when it gets rusty. There is something to be said for a quality product.
These products were so much better than the choices of the big box stores. We were very pleased with the speed of delivery and product selection.

Substantial and Luxurious!This towel shelf far exceeded my expectations in terms of finish and presence on the wall. It is truly a substantial, well-made unit that has transformed the rather plain corner of the bathroom into a luxurious spa-like environment. Very very pleased with the total effect! Also pleased with its ability to hold substantial hotel towels, stacked two high. Altogether beautiful!
